Anyone interested in starting a gallery?

Cheap rent in great location! There are two units for rent in Ferndale that could serve as a gallery space. It is zoned to be a gallery...I have been pondering the notion lately and even found a possible partial backer. Check out space 1 $400/month and 2 $600/month. Any ideas or comments??? Would I be crazy to.......

$400 is the cost of renting a studio.

It's a great price. You might want to think out a full budget though - utilities, printing, signage, staffing if you're not going to cover it all yourself, openings, marketing/advertising.

I was a partner in an artist-owned gallery for a number of years. I loved it, it was great and it took a HUGE amount of time and always cost more.

that said, either of those rents are dirt cheap - I hope you do it!

I'm internship hunting, fa-la-la-la-laaaa la-la, la la.

I love reading your blog. If you were to open a gallery, I'd be happy to be a "grunt" for you.

Currently, I am a humanities major with gallery, museum, graphic design (freelance) and non-profit space art direction work/volunteer experience.

Make sure there aren't any sticky strings attached to that cheap lease (like termites or no working HVAC). That's right on Woodward, isn't it??

Cheers, and happy entrepreneuring!
